Its amazing to see that people support LGBT relationships and are eagar to give LGBT characters their time for romance! I hope to create a normal environment that still keeps the edgy plots of a straight-based, only this time there will be more LGBT people to interact with and characters will not be judged by having their character fall in love with a man or a woman! The reason I chose [b]Fantasy/Romance/Modern [/b]was because it seemed the general consensus in my Interest Check was to have some sort of Fantasy based RP! I saw some Medieval role-play suggestions in the comments, but did some research and found that (surprise, surprise) LGBT wasn’t culturally acceptable in that time period. So I did some more research on Modern Day fantasy locations and found New Orleans, an LGBT friendly, supernatural capital featured in many spooky and supernatural titles like: American Horror Story, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, The Originals and of course Disney’s Haunted Mansion! Now without further ado, let us discuss the plot! [center][h2]_____________[/h2] [h1]Plot Synopsis:[/h1][/center] Set in modern day New Orleans, the aspiring individuals of this lively and thriving area are somewhat different; despite thousands of tourists weekly. Unknowing to the human population, within New Orleans is a thriving community of Supernatural beings; whom live in anonymity among the glitz and the glamour. Within this supernatural safe haven though, a hierarchy of Vampires had gained control over the territory back in the early 1800’s and has set strict limitations on every other occult; failure to comply with these five commandments will be met with cruel and unusual punishment. [b]1. Witches are prohibited from using magic out of a ‘spell-locked’ zone. 2. Werewolves are required to take a daily injection of morphine to keep their senses nulled and powers dormant. 3. Killing a Vampire is punishable by slow death. 4. No Witches or Werewolves are allowed in the rich French Quarter, under any circumstances. 5. Attempts to overthrow the current Vampire Hierarchy will be severely punished.[/b] Rumor has it, that there is an underground organization of Rogue Vampires, Witches, Werewolves and allegedly 'Angels/Demons' who are plotting against the social injustice within the city’s confines; will you join the rebellion, or abide by Vampiric society? [center][h2]_____________[/h2] [h1]Occult List:[/h1][/center] [center] [hider=Vampire] [img] https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTuBItQZPd5neCX06y_HIDOwMtwQ0MN0HRLfoOPU6Y0ODgurh2d[/img] The most prestigious and wealthy, Vampires are treated as higher class citizens and have no limitations on power; which makes them universally hated amongst other inhuman entities. With limitless power, Vampires often will feed from unsuspecting tourists without the fear of reprimanding; since the police and morgue services are Vampires themselves. Commonly, vampires attend public executions of Werewolves and Witches and feel no remorse; viewing the accused as undeserving of mercy, most vampires have become brainwashed killing machines. Will you be one of them, or rebel? Basic Abilities: Immortality, Youthful Appearance, [color=ed1c24][b]Persuasion[/b][/color], Superhuman Speed Special Abilities (+1 Hidden): Flight, Telekinesis, Mind Reading, Transformation (Bat), Superhuman Strength, [color=ed1c24][b]Teleportation[/b][/color] [color=ed1c24][b]**Note: Persuasion only works on Humans to do your bidding. **Note: Teleportation abuse will not be tolerated, use sparingly. [/b][/color] [/hider] [hider= Werewolf] [img]http://img03.deviantart.net/44ec/i/2011/297/9/e/curse_of_the_worgen_issue_3_by_norsechowder-d4dsfb8.jpg[/img] Tough, burly and masculine! The physicality of a werewolf is easy to spot, with piercing golden eyes, sharp teeth, body hair and killer muscles. Currently, Werewolves have the lowest population numbers in New Orleans and are seen as a vampire’s biggest threat. Unfortunately, because of this they have the highest execution numbers of every occult. Werewolves are very territorial and possess the power transform at will to protect the ones they love; however, this ability along with many others is nullified with the use of Morphine as directed by the vampire hierarchy. Will you take the injection, or rebel? Basic Abilities: Night Vision, Superhuman Reflexes, Superhuman Senses, Pheromone [color=ed1c24][b]Charm[/b][/color] Special Abilities (+1 Hidden): Superhuman Speed, Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Endurance, Superhuman Healing, Wall Crawling, Superhuman Agility. [color=ed1c24][b]**Note: Charm meaning they can seduce people with Werewolf pheromones easily, doesn’t work on Vampires who are repulsed by the smell.[/b][/color] [/hider] [hider= Witch] [img]http://artfiles.alphacoders.com/393/39340.jpg[/img] Witches have spells for pretty much anything, but are heavily reliant on a spell book. In a city run by Vampires, witches who use [b][color=ed1c24]Ancestral Magic[/color][/b] are bound to New Orleans whether they like the current dictatorship or not. Although good things can come from magic, the Vampires were only concerned with the bad things; thus witches were forced to create [color=ed1c24][b]‘spell-locked’ zone[/b][/color], the St. Louis cemetery (to protect their ancestor’s magic). A non-witch or non-human may not enter the ‘spell locked’ zone unless invited in, which keeps vampires out and provides a safe haven for witches to create potions and cast spells. If a witch is caught casting magic outside of a “spell locked zone”, the penalty is a slow and painful death. Will you cast spells outside of the zone? Basic Abilities: Cast Spells, Alchemy, Powerful with a single element, Link someone with Voo Doo Special Abilities (+1 Hidden): Choose one Element your powerful with, there are limitless spells as long as you have them in your spell book ([u]-do not abuse for plots sake please![/u]) [color=ed1c24][b]**Note: Ancestral Magic meaning that each dead ancestor has passed down their magic to you, if you leave the province your Ancestors were buried in; you lose your powers.[/b][/color] [color=ed1c24][b]**Note: ’Spell locked’ zones are protected areas where only witches and pure-blood humans can enter, If you are an occult you must be invited in. Within ‘spell locked’ zones, witches can cast any spell they want; but the spell will not take effect to anything outside the spell locked zone; additonally once the zone is left, the spell becomes void and will no longer be active! (-So heal up inside the zone, or your wounds might open up!)[/b][/color] [/hider] [hider=Angels and Demons] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/95/f0/d3/95f0d33c9ceee5ad8d330f3c40a6e546.jpg[/img] Not much is known about Angels and Demons, they are assumed to be a myth since there is no proof of their existence. Angels are known to be strong warriors, have a positive attitude assisting causes they deem worthy. Demons are known to be tricksters, very manipulative and evil while having a cunning and sly demeanor, they are known to be smooth talkers and very irresistible. Will you help the cause, or see to its destruction? Basic Abilities: Teleportation, Flight, Superhuman Healing, Immortality [u]Angel Special Abilities[/u] (+1 Hidden): Healing, [color=ed1c24][b]Pacify[/b][/color], [color=ed1c24][b]Miracle[/b][/color], Levitation, Weapons Mastery [u]Demon Special Abilities[/u] (+1 Hidden): Shape shifting (Another person), Fire Conjuring, Persuasion (see Vamp), Superhuman Speed, Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Reflexes, Weapons Mastery [color=ed1c24][b]**Note: Pacify calms a hostile target for as long as the Angel keeps direct physical contact.
